Lord of Arcane

Chapter 153 Destiny Revelation
In Thain's office, the Lord Epps, the newly promoted arcanist Eberke, and the mayor Thain discussed and discussed, but they couldn't come up with any better solution.

Epps sighed, deeply aware of the difficulty of managing the territory, "Abeck, Thain, I have already decided, when the turmoil in the town calms down a bit, I will go to Severton to meet the Lord Auron .”

Eberke and Thain were silent, and they also knew that this was the most feasible way so far.

"Sean, you have to calm down in the territory. I don't want to hear anyone linking the statue of Her Royal Highness with the summoning of demons in the territory."

"Yes."

"Abeke, before I go to Severton, you secretly investigate in the territory to find out who is framing us!"

"Ok."

"Wait!" Lord Epps, who was flipping through the paperwork on his desk, suddenly saw a special record, "Ebuke, start with the olive grove anomaly, I think there may be a difference between these two things. There is some kind of connection!"

"Olive grove?"

Eberke took the document and flipped through it carefully. It said that the olive grove in the territory had been cast with mysterious magic, constantly attracting goblins to attack.

"Sion, what's going on? Why don't you contact the official mage to deal with it?!"

Eberke knew the significance of the olive grove to the territory. Besides bringing money, its output was also a medium for maintaining a good relationship with the elves.

If there is any loss, the elves will not understand your difficulties, they will only think that you have broken your promise, and that someone is tempted here, it is no different from using the princess to frame them.

"I just found out about that. I had been preparing for the spring development before, but I ignored it. Fortunately, I found it in time."

Thain looked apologetic. The lord was not here at this time. He was indeed a little careless. The territory had been quiet for so long, but he didn't expect all these things to happen all at once.

"Okay, Eberke, don't blame Thain. In the final analysis, this matter is someone deliberately targeting us. If it is not the olive grove, it will be other places. There will always be omissions in passive defense, not to mention that we all Not here!"

Lord Epps comforted Thain, and continued, "Next, we need to thoroughly sort out the territory to see if there are any hidden dangers, and clean them up in advance, so as not to cause big troubles!"

"Yes!"

Afterwards, the three discussed again, and Epps and Abeck returned to the Mage Tower together.

……

Lord Epps' study on the top floor of the Tower of Time.

After the two teleported back, they each found a place to sit down. Lord Epps chatted with Eberke while summoning the tower spirit to ask about the latest situation inside the mage tower.

"Abeke, I always feel that you are a little impatient, are you worried about offending Her Highness the Princess?"

"No, I'm not too worried about Her Royal Highness. Over the years, Her Royal Highness's reputation is still very positive. As long as I can get in touch with her, this crisis should be resolved."

"Why?" Epps was very puzzled. If it wasn't that Her Royal Highness would blame her, then what else would make a new arcanist feel embarrassed and act very impatient?
Eberke's eyes flickered, and he passed Epps' searching gaze. Instead of answering the question directly, he asked a rather strange question, "Epps, do you believe in fate?"

"Hehe!" Epps suddenly laughed, "Abeck, when will you play this kind of trick? Do you believe that fate is really important to us mages? Or is your god giving you some enlightenment?"

Eberke has many identities and titles. He is a mage, a new arcanist, a bard, and a follower of the goddess of magic.

But if it is really related to fate, it may be the goddess believer. Of course, the belief of the mage can be imagined. If the goddess really sends a revelation for this, then the revelation is too cheap!

Epps only thought it was Abeke joking with him and didn't take it seriously, but Abeke's expression suddenly became serious, and his voice became dignified:
"Epps, I'm not kidding, maybe it's God's revelation, maybe it's something else, but I have to say, I saw destiny when I advanced."

"Fate? Whose fate? Mine?"

Eberke's heavy tone made Epps believe his words, but he only believed in the fact that he saw some kind of revelation. Epps still scoffed at the so-called theory of fate.

But he was also very curious about this so-called fate, "Ebuke, tell me, what kind of fate did you see?"

Eberke sighed in his heart, although he himself disliked the theory of fate, but the enlightenment at the advanced stage was so profound, and now he even saw the clues, he had to remind Epps to be careful.

"At the moment when Austrian Fire was born, I saw a picture of you being hit by an elf magic."

"Elf magic?" Epps frowned, obviously he was also considering this possibility, "Could it be because of the olive oil trade? No, it's impossible, the Silverleaf family has no reason to do this! Abeck, do you still see What's up?"

Although he doesn't believe in fate, he can regard this revelation as a special prophecy, and as long as it is a prophecy, it can be changed. Epps believes that the fate of the mage is always in his own hands.

If he committed suicide now, wouldn't this so-called fate be a joke!
"I also saw ice and snow."

"Ice and snow?" Epps muttered softly, his brows furrowed deeper.

It is now early spring, and the snow and ice outside have begun to melt. If Eberke's revelation is not now, it will be winter at the earliest.

But recently, he will stay in the territory all the time. Even if there are elves coming and the support of the mage tower, he will not worry about anything at all. If it is winter, it probably has nothing to do with the current affairs of the territory. As long as you deal with it carefully, it should not be difficult avoid.

Still, the so-called apocalypse, or prophecy, left a thorn in Epps' heart.

And Eberke also persuaded again, and proposed a possibility——

"Epps, I think that matters involving elves, whether it's fate or prophecy, need to be treated with caution. In addition, Felbers of the Liadon Chamber of Commerce died in the territory, and perhaps the elves will cause trouble."

"Felbers? Probably not." Epps is quite confident about this, "By his generation, the blood of elves has long been as thin as that of ordinary humans. How could the Silverleaf family make trouble because of this!

"Let's put the matter of the elves aside for now. The most important thing at the moment is to sort out the territory first, and beware of any incidents. As long as the territory is stable, everything will be fine."

Epps knew very well that Archmage Auron was less likely to win over him because he was a level 12 mage, and more likely because Savile had something worth using.

After figuring this out, and keeping the territory firmly in his hands, then he will have some room to advance and retreat.
